| Description: Olympic Blazer from the 1964 Tokyo Summer Games. It is hard to imagine a young Joe Frazier any prouder than when he donned this Olympic navy blazer for the first time entering the Tokyo stadium representing the United States of America. Indeed, although he lost in the American Olympic finals to Buster Mathis (who he later defeated as a professional), an injury to Mathis opened the door for Frazier. He went on to win the gold medal as the first American Olympic Heavyweight Champion and, as Smokin Joe Frazier, became the first man to win both the Olympic gold and the professional Heavyweight Championship of the World. |
